About the Role

We're looking for a Portfolio Manager to own the performance of our insurance book end-to-end. You'll combine technical insurance expertise with a commercial, data-driven mindset to steer the portfolio toward sustainable, profitable growth.

What You'll Do

•   Own portfolio performance: monitor loss ratios, mix, concentration, and profitability across product lines.

•   Identify underperforming segments and design interventions across pricing, underwriting, and distribution.

•   Set and refine underwriting appetite and guidelines in partnership with underwriters and actuaries.

•   Build dashboards and reporting that give the business a clear view of portfolio health.

•   Lead reinsurance discussions and capital efficiency initiatives.

•   Translate portfolio insights into product, pricing, and wording changes.

What We're Looking For

•   2–3+ years in portfolio management, performance management, or a similar role at a traditional carrier.

•   Strong technical capability across pricing, underwriting, and policy wording.

•   Experience managing or analyzing books spanning multiple product lines.

•   Comfortable with data: able to interrogate loss triangles, rate adequacy, and mix shifts.

•   Commercial mindset with the ability to make trade-offs between growth and profitability.

•   Willing and able to work from our office six days per week.

Bonus Points

•   Experience setting underwriting appetite or guidelines for a new product or new market entry.

•   Exposure to reinsurance structuring and treaty negotiation.

•   Background that bridges actuarial and underwriting functions.

•   Experience in a high-growth or early-stage insurance environment.

Compensation & Benefits

•   Base salary of £65,000–£85,000, depending on experience.

•   Equity options.

•   Direct ownership of a critical function in a high-growth insurance business.
